"It's sort of like my past is an unfinished painting, and as the artist of that painting, I must fill in all the ugly holes and make it beautiful again," the singer, 25, says in voiceover as she's shown being wheeled through a medical facility on a gurney when the video starts.

A tearful Gaga eventually tells her nurse before she's discharged from the hospital: "I'm gonna be a star. You know why? Because I have nothing left to lose."

But the next sequence depicts a topless Gaga having a breakdown in her apartment. As the video ends, Lady Gaga is seen heading to a meeting at Interscope Records.
